Sofia Vergara’s Makeup – Get the Look
Here we have the lovely Sofia Vergara in natural brown and rose colored makeup for the 15th Annual People en Español ’50 Most Beautiful’ Issue Celebration. Love her makeup? Check out the tips below to get her look!
- For Sofia’s flawless face, start with a medium or buildable coverage foundation and set with matte powder. If you’re pale, try a natural looking bronzer, like Benefit Hoola, to get Sofia’s natural tan glow.
- Use a primer on eyelids, like Urban Decay Primer Potion or LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer. Then, apply a bronzed brown shadow, like NYX Loose Pearl Eye Shadow in Walnut, to your lids. For a more intense look, dip your eyeshadow brush in water or a drop of Visine to moisten the shadow before applying.
- Groom eyebrows and define with a brow pencil or eyebrow wax.
- Use a black-brown mascara, like Almay One Coat Thickening Mascara in Black Brown, to define top and bottom lashes.
- Lightly apply a dusty rose blush to the apples of your cheeks. Try NYX Powder Blush in Dusty Rose.
- Last but not least, the lip color. To get a deep nude like Sofia’s, try L’Oreal Color Riche in Rich Nude.

L’Oreal Studio Secrets Professional The One Sweep Eye Shadow Review
Have you seen this product? L’Oreal recently started advertising Studio Secrets Professional The One Sweep Eye Shadow, an eyeshadow trio that is meant to be applied in “one sweep” for the perfect professional eye shadow look. The compact comes with it’s own foam applicator that is uniquely shaped, supposedly to allow you to sweep the three colors at once on your lid. At around $10, in drugstores, this is a bit pricey for a non-high end eye shadow. The compact comes in six color varieties, ranging from neutrals to specific colors for your eye color.
While this idea seems good in theory, the reviews I’ve found online vary and I haven’t seen anything positive. Most people are saying that the colors are not bold enough (a common complaint with L’Oreal shadows, and likely the reasoning for their launch of the HIP line), and that the applicator just plain doesn’t work as it’s supposed to. I could see this being very possible, because, come on, people’s eyes just aren’t all shaped the same! Apparently this has been around for a while, because The Muse posted about in back in last November! It doesn’t look like anything I’d want to try, I’ll say that much.

L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick Review
By now, you may have seen the commercials for L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge lipstick featuring Gwen Stefani. Gwen looks lovely with her signature red lip that doesn’t wear off and stays smooth using L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge. But does this product really live up to its claims?
At first glance, L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge lipstick (roughly $9, at major retailers and drugstores) looks like any other lip product on the market. It comes in a stylish clear tube form that shows the color right through the lid. I purchased the shade #130, Enduring Berry, because it looked like a blue-based berry shade that would flatter my skintone (and help my teeth look brighter).
Le Rouge lipstick applies smoothly, and looks pretty similar to the shade in the tube. Don’t be fooled by the reflective red shade on the cap, that’s just part of the packaging – not a color indicator! Unlike other long wear lip colors, this product doesn’t cake, dry up, or require multiple steps. I love this fact, because my lips can be dry or troubled at times. I do suggest using a lip liner with this, as it can smear a bit around the lip line.
I’ve noticed that this lipstick doesn’t wear forever, but it lasts a pretty long time. Overall, I’m very pleased with this product.

L’Oreal The Color of Hope Cosmetics Bag: Beauty for Hope
Best of all, L’Oreal Paris will donate $5 from the purchase of each bag to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF).
The Color of Hope Cosmetics Bag signifies their ongoing commitment to the fight against ovarian cancer.
Included in the L’Oreal Cosmetics Bag:
- L’Oreal Wear Infinite Pressed Eye Shadow Quad in Petals of Promise 515
- L’Oreal Wear Infinite Pressed Eye Shadow Quad in Bouquet of Strength 215
- L’Oreal 6 Hr Never Fail Lip Gloss in Color of Hope 531
- L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Color of Hope
The Color of Hope Cosmetics Bag retails for $29.95 and is available at drugstores nationwide and Drugstore.com.
I think it is an excellent idea, but L’Oreal must keep in mind that it is a bit pricey (especially considering their items are occasionally BOGO). For the same $30, a makeup-lover could get two items from MAC!
Would you purchase this bag?
